Another popular option when you need portability and a high capacity accurate medical scale is the Befour PS-7700 Pro BMI Digital Flat Scale, 900 lb. which features twin weight scale modes: standard mode and "assistant mode." The standard mode lets the user input height: Body Mass Index is displayed along with the weight.
